My hair had been been extremely tangled due to not fully detangling both sides before my two week trip to Japan, and then failing to properly detangle after. So, I detangled with a Denman brush and then used Curlformers to set my smooth, detangled hair.
Cowash
I used the As I Am Long and Luxe Growash. I have started using this instead of coconut purely because I dislike coconut and like pomegranate, but since it is more expensive, I'm not going to buy it again when I run out.
Detangle and Condition
I've been using Aussie Mega Moist for a while honestly. I know it has a cone, but it's not one that can build up on itself so I haven't had any problems (plus I started a low poo every handful of weeks specifically because of this product.) It just has more slip and sinks in better than any other conditioner I own. It makes it so I don't have to use baking soda in my cowash just to get my conditioner to penetrate the cuticle layer.
Gel Setting Cream
I actually used a setting cream. DevaCurl Styling Cream. This kinda makes sense. I bought it, thinking it was a cream type curl definer (I also bought a gel by the same company so I'm not sure why I thought this would work) and it was *clearly* a setting cream.
I immediately decided I wanted to do a curlformer set and bought new curlformers (wrong ones, though...) specifically because of this product and it has worked amazingly.
I can't use gel to do a rollerset, as it turns out, because it fights the rollers and I end up with really poor results. This worked absolutely amazingly and I'm going to keep it around for whenever I need to do any sort of style that isn't a pure wash-and-go.
My hair is soft, bouncy, and defined, but not weighed down.
About 3 days later, I did a twistout on dry hair (no product.)
